Here at the Limb, we live right downtown with the levee in our backyard. Each Independence Day we throw a party in our little bit of the Great Outdoors. We say a prayer of thanksgiving for the liberty proclaimed that July the Fourth, bought by the blood, sweat, toil, and tears of our forebears, and guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Then we feast on barbecue and all the trimmings, climb the levee with our lawn chairs and settle back, faces to the heavens to witness a grand display of fireworks while across the river loudspeakers stir us with the 1812 Overture and other patriotic music.
